He has moderated on the police funding issue, and the rent freeze is for already rent controlled apartments.
- GenerWork 1y ago>He has moderated on the police funding issue So he already backtracked on a core election promise even before he got elected? Doesn’t bode well for his supporters expectations going forward.
- pkulak 1y agoSeems like before you’re elected is the perfect time to adjust policy positions. Or, really, any time you’re presented with new facts.
- matsemann 1y agoWhat a weird take. Isn't it better that he says it before the election? I think you just have it out for him, and no matter what he does you will find a way it's wrong.
- adrian17 1y agoAs far as I know, “defunding the police” wasn’t a campaign promise, let alone a “core” one. It indeed was the opinion he had in the past (and you can argue about whether he still thinks that privately), but there are also many statements from the last several months that he’s explicitly _not_ running on that.
- FrontierProject 1y agoCore election promise? It was a comment he made half a decade before running for mayor. Perhaps it's time to update your Kool-aid detectors.
- emchammer 1y agoIt’s as if people can change their opinions about things as they become better informed.
- nobody9999 1y ago>the rent freeze is for already rent controlled apartments. That's actually not true. The rent freeze is for rent stabilized[0] apartments. Rent control[1] is a different program and is tiny in comparison.
